A screenshot is a digital image of what you see on your computer screen. There are several ways to take a screenshot, such as using the Print Screen button on your keyboard.

​

To save a screenshot, you need to open an image editing program, such as Paint or Adobe Photoshop, and paste the screenshot into the program. You can do this by clicking on the "Paste" or "Edit" button and selecting "Insert".

Don't forget to save your work by using the "Save As" option and choosing a location to save your image. If you need to take a screenshot of only one window (for example, the one that is currently open), you can use the "Alt" and "Print Screen" key combination. After that, paste the resulting screenshot into an image editing program and save it. This method is universal and works on any version of Windows.

If you have Windows Vista, Windows 7, 8, or 10 installed, there is an even more convenient way to take screenshots. You can use a small program called "Snipping Tool".

You can find it by searching for "Snipping Tool" in the Start menu. It's located in the "Programs" section under "Standard". After clicking on the "Create" button, the cursor will change to a plus sign and the screen will become hazy. Use the cursor to select the desired area of the screen or the whole screen by pressing and holding the left mouse button while dragging the cursor over the area. Once you release the button, the selected area will be "cut out" and added to the Snipping Tool window. You can then make any necessary edits and save the screenshot to your computer ("File" > "Save as...").

If you're using an iMac or Mac Mini with Mac OS, there are even easier ways to take screenshots:

- Command + Shift + 3 - saves the entire screen as a file on your desktop

- Command + Shift + 4 - saves the selected area as a file

- Command + Shift + 4 (with space) - saves the current program window as a file
